classes

The class itself is split into three sections:

Warm-up or Chi Kung exercises: a set of exercises to relax the body, calm the mind and stimulate one's natural energy - chi.The Form: we teach the Yang style Short Form of Cheng Man-ch'ing. The Form is a continuous sequence of postures that is learned posture by posture. Each week we revise the previous two or three postures - especially useful for students who have missed a class or two and then learn a new one. By working from the mind, through natural movements of the body, we learn to understand relaxation, to interpret energy and to apply this knowledge to our every day lives.Partner work: this is the part of T'ai Chi that allows us to work on the principles in relation to another person.
